The geographic coordinates of Xiangjiang are 114°15' east longitude and 22°15' north latitude.
Located on the coast of South China, east of the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong Province, China, it consists of Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the inland areas of the New Territories, and 262 large and small islands.
She is the third largest financial center in the world, an important international financial, trade and shipping center, and New York and London are also known as the "Nurem River". It is one of the freest economies and most competitive cities in the world, and enjoys a high reputation in the world.
She is known as the "Pearl of the Orient", "Gourmet Paradise" and "Shopping Paradise". It is a bright pearl in Asia and is famous all over the world.
The public's first impression of Xiangjiang is the prosperous entertainment, which is called "Oriental Hollywood".
Here, Xiangjiang once dominated East Asia with its TV dramas and movies. The music here can be called the development history of Chinese pop music. Countless superstars have emerged here, such as Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhao Yazhi...
Here is a highly prosperous international metropolis!
The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures here shows her super inclusiveness. People from all over the world can live well here, full of super modern humanistic atmosphere!
Zhong Cheng led the Leeds United team to this Asian pearl.
When Leeds United came to Xiangjiang International Airport, there were countless Leeds United fans crowded inside and outside the field. They wore white Leeds United jerseys and pulled up a huge banner. There were traditional Chinese words on it, "Welcome to Xiangjiang, Director Zhong Cheng", "Welcome Leeds United to Xiangjiang", and "Long Live Mr. Zhong Cheng".
For Xiangjiang fans, the Premier League is the most breathing league for them.
Perhaps it is the reason why Xiangjiang was once a British colony. There are still many British lifestyles and cultural atmosphere left here. Since the very early days of the Premier League, Xiangjiang has broadcast live, and has cultivated a large number of Premier League fans.
There are many fans of the Premier League giants here.
However, after Zhong Cheng, a Chinese, acquired and coached Leeds United, many fans in Xiangjiang changed their appearances, changed positions, joined the Leeds United fans, and supported Leeds United one after another. Over the past few years, Leeds United's performance has been really good, which has attracted more Leeds United fans.
It can be said that now in Xiangjiang, the fans of Leeds United have even surpassed the largest number of Red Devils Manchester United fans before, and Leeds United is about to become the last team that Xiangjiang welcomes.
This is also the reason why Leeds United's Asian guild has Xiangjiang.
The Xiangjiang fans at the scene were really excited and enthusiastic. They waved their arms and shouted the name of Leeds United to welcome Leeds United.
Many excited fans rushed forward frantically, hoping to get in close contact with their idols.
Here, the most popular one is of course Zhong Cheng!
Zhong Cheng is Chinese, and he is now one of the hottest head coaches in the world.
Because Zhong Cheng still has too many stories and legends, and his body is full of mystery, which attracts the attention and exploration of many people.
And Zhong Cheng can be said to be one of the most exposed head coaches in recent years, especially in England, where Zhong Cheng's name appears in newspapers almost every day, and his reputation can be said to be in full swing.
Moreover, it is Zhong Cheng's vision of young people who is praised the most. Many Xiangjiang fans think that Zhong Cheng can dig two very good young people from Xiangjiang and go to Leeds, England to train and grow.
Moreover, Xiangjiang fans also heard from the Xiangjiang government that Leeds will establish a football school in Xiangjiang to train football talents for Leeds United and Xiangjiang.
This made many Xiangjiang fans very happy, and they admired Zhong Cheng even more.
Zhong Cheng waved his arms goodbye to these Leeds United fans, then led his players onto the bus and rushed to the hotel where they were staying.
In Xiangjiang, Zhong Cheng and Leeds United will stay for three days.
The first day is today. Tomorrow, the players of Leeds United will attend some public welfare activities, such as going to the orphanage to visit some children to send warmth and so on, as well as some commercial activities, etc. The third day is the friendly match with the Xiangjiang Nanhua team.
The Nanhua team is an old-fashioned football team in Hong Kong. It was established in 1908, named the Chinese football team.
The Chinese Football Team was renamed the South China Football Team in 1910. The South China Football Team is the Hong Kong professional team that has won the most Hong Kong First Division teams, with a total of 38 times. At the same time, it has the most 29 senior silver medals, 8 Governors Cups, 8 FA Cups and 2 League Cups.
However, in the past few years, the team failed to promote the "All China Class", and the results were very bad, and they were once relegated. However, at that time, the Xiangjiang Football Association increased the number of first-tier teams, and the Xiangjiang Football Association retained the South China Club, and the South China Club stayed in the First Division.
This season has just ended, Nanhua Club has gone through untold hardships, and finally won the first division championship. And this year they have many warm-up matches, and now it is a warm-up match with Leeds United, and then they will also participate in a commercial competition called "Barclays Asia Tournament". The other three teams participating are also from the Premier League, they are Liverpool, Fulham and Portsmouth.
Of course, this commercial competition has nothing to do with Leeds United.
The strength of this Nanhua football team is still not strong, after all, this is just Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang fans are very concerned about this game, and they are all very excited, looking forward to the arrival of this game.
Zhong Cheng led the Leeds United players to the hotel where they were staying.
There are more Xiangjiang fans gathered here.
These fans uniformly wore the white jerseys of Leeds United and waved to the players of Leeds United. Many people even chanted the names of the players of Leeds United loudly to cheer for the players of Leeds United.
These fans were unwilling to leave for a long time, so they were waiting here.
The weather in Xiangjiang in mid-July was very hot and sunny. Zhong Cheng felt sorry for them standing under the sun. Zhong Cheng immediately signaled for several Leeds United players to sign autographs for these fans.
This caused the Xiangjiang fans at the scene to be very excited and excited.
The players who went to sign autographs and take photos with Xiangjiang fans were Zhong Zheng, Luca Toni, Joaquin and Pique. The group of four saw Zhong Cheng's sincerity. The Xiangjiang fans at the scene were very excited and excited. Zhong Cheng is indeed Chinese. This is a benefit for Chinese fans.
When he was in Southeast Asia, Zhong Cheng didn't let the stars of Leeds United do these things.
Even if it was officially required by commercial activities, Zhong Cheng let young players such as Robert Lewandowski and Hazard go, and the biggest name was the full-back Sagna.
The Xiangjiang fans are really excited. Compared with the fans in Malaysia and Thailand, they are much, much happier.
Of course, there are only a small number of people who get autographs and group photos. Pique and others will not sign autographs for everyone on the scene, because it takes too much time and experience.
The other players of Leeds United went to the hotel to rest, while Zhong Cheng waited for Pique and others, and returned to the hotel to rest together after they finished signing.
At this moment, a very young woman rushed towards Zhong Cheng excitedly, holding the white jersey of Leeds United in her hands and holding a pen.
The security personnel at the scene suddenly became nervous, even Zhong Cheng's bodyguard Mu Zheng and others became nervous. After all, Zhong Cheng was assassinated in France not long ago, and it is inevitable that he will encounter these things in Xiangjiang. Zhong Cheng's bodyguards are very nervous.
The security personnel of the hotel directly stopped the young woman who was rushing up, and at the same time, they were going to use the grappling hand directly to control the woman.
The woman was completely dumbfounded, but soon she came to her senses and shouted at Zhong Cheng: "Mr. Zhong Cheng, I am your fan, please sign me!"
Hearing the woman yelling, neither the bodyguards nor the security personnel relaxed their vigilance.
Zhong Cheng looked over, he was slightly taken aback, the young woman in front of him was somewhat familiar. Her skin is slightly dark, a healthy wheat color, with a small cut, but she looks a bit like a tomboy.
Zhong Cheng felt that the woman in front of him was a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen her before?
No matter in his previous life or now, he rarely comes to Xiangjiang. He probably doesn't know any women here? But why does it feel so familiar? As if I had really seen him before.
Zhong Cheng couldn't remember. But looking at the expectant young woman in front of him, Zhong Cheng still waved to the bodyguards and security personnel around him. Although he still didn't remember who the woman in front of him was, he could guarantee that she was not a bad person.
Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Let her come over, it's just a sign, don't be so nervous!"
Mu Zheng immediately came to Zhong Cheng's side and said, "Boss, we'd better be careful, we are not familiar with the people here!"
Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay!"
Mu Zheng wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Zhong Cheng's determination, so he stopped talking. He immediately waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to let the woman come over. But he never let down his vigilance, his eyes were fixed on this woman.
The woman came to Zhong Cheng, very excited, handed the jersey and pen to Zhong Cheng, and said: "Mr. Zhong Cheng, I like you so much, I am your fan, please sign me!"
Zhong Cheng took the jersey and pen with a smile, and said to the woman, "You are special. Everyone likes football stars, but you like me as a coach!"
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly said: "I am different from them. I have dreamed of being a football head coach since I was a child, and what I want to lead is the men's football team!"
Hearing this, all the security personnel at the scene involuntarily glanced at the young woman in front of them. They were very surprised, this woman is really a bit of a womanizer.
Zhong Cheng was slightly taken aback, he seemed to have remembered something?
Zhong Cheng looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Excuse me, lady, what should I sign on this jersey?"
The young woman pouted cutely, then her sharp eyes sparkled with surprise, and she asked, "Can you sign what I want to say?"
"certainly!"
"Then sign it—to Chen Wanting, the greatest female football coach in the future, Zhong Cheng will keep it!"
